Quantitative computed tomography texture analysis revealed differences in mandibular condylar trabecular bone among patients with temporomandibular disorders and asymptomatic controls. Distinct texture features were identified in the peri‐cystic bone of condyles with subchondral cysts, suggesting alterations in local trabecular bone microarchitecture ...

Polyglycine Strands Within a Collagen Triple Helix
ABSTRACT The collagen triple helix is the most abundant protein structural motif in animals. It tolerates any amino acid in its Xaa and Yaa positions but demands glycine (Gly) at every third position, where the residue packs into the sterically forbidding core of the triple helix and donates the recurring interstrand N–H⋯OC hydrogen bond that stitches

Revisiting Inherited Metabolic Diseases (IMDs) Through the Lens of Selective Autophagy
ABSTRACT Selective autophagy is increasingly recognized as a fundamental quality‐control mechanism that complements bulk autophagy by enabling the targeted degradation of specific intracellular cargos, including mitochondria, endoplasmic reticulum (ER), lipid droplets, glycogen, peroxisomes, ferritin, ribosomes, and protein aggregates.
